Activist and former African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has criticized Tunji Disu. He is the newly appointed Inspector General of Police. He criticized him over the handling of businesswoman Tracy Ohiri’s legal case. The case took a dramatic turn when she collapsed in court and was rushed to a hospital.

Swore shared a video on his verified Facebook account. He expressed frustration at what he described as mismanagement. This occurred during the IGP’s first days in office. He specifically pointed to Commissioner of Police Akin Fakorede. Fakorede heads the IGP Monitoring Unit. Sowore accused him of obstructing justice by attempting to block Ohiri’s bail. Sowore suggested that Disu’s leadership was undermined. A senior police officer interfered in a high-profile legal matter during the first 48 hours of Disu’s tenure.

The new IGP, who many believe is intelligent, look at what is happening,” Sowore stated in the video. “You allowed Fakorede to mess up your first 48 hours in office.”The controversy centers on a debt dispute between Ohiri and Nigeria’s Minister of Works, Dave Umahi. Ohiri claims Umahi owes her around N250 million. This amount is for promotional materials and campaign support provided during his 2014 governorship campaign.

She publicly demanded repayment. As a result, she was arrested and arraigned in court. This incident sparked national debate over the handling of civil disputes. It also raised concerns about the alleged abuse of power by authorities.

Sowore’s intervention underscores growing public scrutiny of law enforcement practices, particularly in high-profile civil and political disputes. Observers note that the situation highlights tensions. These tensions exist between public expectations of police impartiality and allegations of interference in matters involving powerful political figures. The incident has raised questions about procedural fairness. Advocates urge that the rights of individuals involved in financial disputes be respected. This respect should be given regardless of their status or the prominence of those they challenge. Ohiri’s collapse in court has further intensified attention on the case. This has drawn reactions from activists. It has also drawn reactions from legal experts and members of the public.
